--settings:webkit.runsettings chromium ">xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> RunSettings> Playwright> BrowserName>chromiumBrowserName> Playwright> RunSettings>ChromiumFor Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers, by default, Playwright uses open source Chromium builds. Since the Chromium project is ahead of the branded browsers, when the world is on Google Chrome N, Playwright already supports Chromium N+1 that will be released in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge a few weeks later.Chromium: headless shellPlaywright ships a regular Chromium build for headed operations and a separate chromium headless shell for headless mode.If you are only running tests in headless shell (i.e. the channel option is not specified), for example on CI, you can avoid downloading the full Chromium browser by passing --only-shell during installation.# only running tests headlesslynpx playwright install --with-deps --only-shell# only running tests headlesslymvn exec:java -e -D exec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -D exec.args="install --with-deps --only-shell"# only running tests headlesslyplaywright install --with-deps --only-shell# only running tests headlesslypwsh bin/Debug/netX/playwright.ps1 install --with-deps --only-shellChromium: new headless modeYou can opt into the new headless mode by using 'chromium' channel. As official Chrome documentation puts it:New Headless on the other hand is the real Chrome browser, and is thus more authentic, reliable, and offers more features. This makes it more suitable for high-accuracy end-to-end web app testing or browser extension testing.See issue #33566 for details.import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';export default defineConfig({ projects: [ { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], channel: 'chromium' }, }, ],});import com.microsoft.playwright.*;public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) { Browser browser = playwright.chromium().launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setChannel("chromium")); Page page = browser.newPage(); // ... } }}pytest test_login.py --browser-channel chromium chromium chromium ">xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>RunSettings> Playwright> BrowserName>chromiumBrowserName> LaunchOptions> Channel>chromiumChannel> LaunchOptions> Playwright>RunSettings>dotnet test -- Playwright.BrowserName=chromium Playwright.LaunchOptions.Channel=chromiumWith the new headless mode, you can skip downloading the headless shell during browser installation by using the --no-shell option:# only running tests headlesslynpx

In particular, the current Playwright version will support Stable and Beta channels of these browsers.Available channels are chrome, msedge, chrome-beta, msedge-beta, chrome-dev, msedge-dev, chrome-canary, msedge-canary.:::warningCertain Enterprise Browser Policies may impact Playwright's ability to launch and control Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Running in an environment with browser policies is outside of the Playwright project's scope.::::::warningGoogle Chrome and Microsoft Edge have switched to a new headless mode implementation that is closer to a regular headed mode. This differs from chromium headless shell that is used in Playwright by default when running headless, so expect different behavior in some cases. See issue #33566 for details.:::import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';export default defineConfig({ projects: [ /* Test against branded browsers. */ { name: 'Google Chrome', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], channel: 'chrome' }, // or 'chrome-beta' }, { name: 'Microsoft Edge', use: { ...devices['Desktop Edge'], channel: 'msedge' }, // or "msedge-beta" or 'msedge-dev' }, ],});import com.microsoft.playwright.*;public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) { // Channel can be "chrome", "msedge", "chrome-beta", "msedge-beta" or "msedge-dev".
